Came across this while surfing...
If you read it try to remember it's meant in a humerous way. One hopes it doesn't cause any offence...El Corte Ingles employees had better not look!!!

I feel sorry for poor Marujita. Seems she gets blamed for everything that goes wrong (or right) like giving correct information at Atocha-Renfe and even at el Corté Inglés. rolleyes
BTW
The last time I visited the Puerta del Sol Corté Inglés in Madrid there was a long queue for the ladies room, so many of them were going to the men's room. When I went in and headed for one of the urinals they looked at me as if I had no business there. I just did my thing, washed my hands, and left. If the situation was reversed, I feel quite sure that I would have been denounced and probably arrested. eek

I cried when I read this!
Quote:
Parental abandonment has been cited as the cause of the deaths of three area children ages forty-six to fifty-two. According to police, Maruja Gonzalez, 82, abandoned her children five weeks ago when she died of renal failure.

The rigor mortis stiffened cadavers of Manolo Gonzalez, 46, and his brother, Manolo Gonzalez, 49, were found Tuesday evening sitting at the dining room table of the home they had shared with their mother. Both of them were clutching a fork and a knife.

Statistics show that the number of people falling into holes increases proportionately with the number of holes that are dug.

"People seem to have the impression that just because we dig more holes that gives them the right to just fall into them more often,” said Gil y Pollas. “We intend to send out the message loud and clear that we simply will not tolerate this sort of behavior anymore."
laugh Gil y Pollas laugh Great stuff, filbert!
